<p>He seems to be focused more on people who still believe in a deity, but just despise the hypocrisy and bigotry of organized religion than actually looking to convince atheists. His nonsense about "If non-believers hated us for truly living our faith and for being the best lovers of people the world has ever known" is shows he really doesn't understand why people don't believe in his god (or possibly even that they don't believe. It would not be the first time that someone confused rejecting…</p>

<p>yeah i don't think its will do anything to convince athesits otherwise, (not becasue were close minded but becasue we actually read the bible and it says some pretty horrrible things)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>liberal theists like to play fast and loose with biblical quotes and try to PR away the cruel stuff and only highlight the few moral things in the bible.</p>

<p>I agree,</p>
<p>I left the faith because of personal issues with the role religion played in my life as well as its logical absurdity. But i think the ex-atheist is reacting to the belief that all Christians are right wing conservative fundamentals and wants to show the liberal "Jesus loves everybody lets be giggly and nice side"</p>

<p>And it's probably not going to work, at least not the way "Changing the Face of Christianity" wants it to. They'll just get into big pie fights with other Christians who focus more on the numerous passages of the Bible that call people to be judgmental and prejudicial and engage in really dumb things, and it might cause people who are at a distance from Christianity to wonder more about the concept of God.</p> I think the "former atheist"…tag:www.thinkatheist.com,2011-01-05:1982180:Comment:4857672011-01-05T03:05:11.839ZAllen Sneedhttp://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/AllenSneed
<p>I think the "former atheist" completely missed the real reasons the majority of atheists object to Christianity. Lack of evidence for god(s) and the numerous contradictions, obvious absurdities and glaring immorality of the Bible (even the New Testament) seem like much more common reasons to reject Christianity.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My guess is this non-profit is successful at "winning back" people who left the church but never really rejected the notion of God.</p>
